Counties with the highest infant mortality rates in Wisconsin

Among 30 Wisconsin counties with published values, the counties with the highest infant mortality rates are Shawano County, WI (8.9, 1.44 times the U.S. county median of 6.2), Milwaukee County, WI (8.4, 1.35 times the U.S. county median of 6.2) and Racine County, WI (8.4, 1.35 times the U.S. county median of 6.2). Values are deaths under 1 per 1,000 births.

Source: County Health Rankings, built from CDC National Vital Statistics System death records. These are county-level figures, compared with the U.S. county median. A high rate does not prove an environmental cause: age, smoking, income, access to care, screening and chance all move county rates, and small counties swing widely.
